Fran's 'Famous' Frosting

This frosting, which I dubbed famous, is one of the best homemade frostings I've ever had/made. The key to this frosting is that its fat based, meaning lard ... just kidding it's Crisco, wait is that lard?

I first had this frosting several years ago at the Fran's house (my sister's mother-in-law) for New Years. I was taught that the main way to eat this frosting is not on desserts, but by the spoonful in the bowl, which she served both ways.

4 cup confectioners sugar
1 stick of softened butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup Crisco
1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup evaporated milk
beat on high for 5 minutes in large bowl

These brownie fingers were made with the Pillsbury box kind of brownies in a 13x9. I got this awesome Wilton 'triple-finger' cutter from Michaels. The frosting is piped from my entirely, completely non-gay Wilton dessert decorator. The brownies fingers are made even more manly with the white sugar pearls.
